ROB LAVERS

“Rob is a key part of the process that takes the band's music beyond what is simply ordinary and enjoyable, and makes it extraordinary and unforgettable.” JamBand, U.S review of NMS tour.

Rob's versatility as a musician has brought him into contact with an impressive array of musicians working in styles ranging from flamenco, latin, funk, afrobeat, dance/electronica to acoustic and improvised contemporary jazz.

The saxophonist has performed at festivals and venues worldwide: Antigua Music Festival, Chicago Jazz Festival, Clifford Brown Festival(Delaware), High Sierra Music Festival (U.S), New Orleans Jazz Festival, Nancy Jazz Pulsations (Fr), London Music Festival, The Jazz Café and Pizza Express, Dean St., The Manchester Jazz Festival (U.K), JVC Paris Jazz Festival.
As well as touring extensively, Rob has performed on many recordings- most recently with The NewMastersounds (102%); The Jamil Sheriff Quartet; Nicolas Meier (Orient) playing alongside Gilad Atzmon.

The multi instrumentalist/ composer has been writing for his group for ten years now, and has recorded five albums under his own name. The most recent album 'Six' is a collaboration between English and French based musicians and features the celebrated French pianist Laurent DeWilde and U.K based musicians Neil Yates and Stuart McCallum.
